EDITORIAL
On Sustainability: Video Interview Insights
GILL PRATT: Sustainability and AI
Dr. Gill Pratt is chief scientist and
Executive Fellow for Research of
Toyota Motor Corp., CEO of Toyota
Research Institute, and executive
advisor of Toyota Central R&D Labs.
KRISTEN SIEMEN: Scope 3
Kristen Siemen is VP and chief
sustainability officer, General Motors.
An electrical engineer, she was
previously executive director of GM's
Global Energy Strategy, Certification
& Compliance and Test Labs.
LARRY BURNS: Design Innovation
Lawrence Burns, Ph.D, advises
organizations on the future of mobility,
energy and innovation. Formerly GM's
VP of R&D, he is author of the books
Reinventing the Automobile and
Autonomy.
PRATT: Standards
Toyota's chief scientist on the
importance of standards in
sustainable product development.
room: the estimated 1 billion existing ICEpowered
vehicles in the world.
Forecasters say perhaps 100 million
more new vehicles, most with IC engines,
will enter the world's streets this
century. No button exists to simply make
them disappear, to be replaced by EVs.
The road to the sustainable future must
support livelihoods and budgets in every
corner of the world. Yet when the truly
global OEMs argue this point, they get
blasted by the NGO eco-lawyers who
cluelessly demand finger-snap solutions.
AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
SIEMEN: Electrification
GM's CSO on sustainability and the
mainstream EV future.
THE EDITOR: On Sustainability
SAE Media's editor-in-chief's views
on sustainability and its many
moving pieces.
The sustainable future is full of unknowns.
Battery supply. Mineral sourcing.
Mining risks. Human rights and safety.
A fragile, Balkanized U.S. energy grid.
Geopolitics. Wars and rumors of war.
Cost. Natural resource issues such as
water use in semiconductor manufacturing
and lithium processing. Even truly
" recyclable " plastic remains an unfulfilled
promise in many cases.
For Sustainability to be industry's true
North Star, leaders who preach the EV
gospel should walk the walk. A recent
1,497-mile flight by Tesla's CEO from
Austin, Texas, to Oakland, Calif., consumed
nearly 10,000 pounds of jet fuel
and emitted 15 tons of CO2, according to
an online report.
SAE itself is grappling with its own
sustainable transition. Pride in the new
EV charging station at SAE's Pittsburgharea
headquarters is tempered by the
regional power utility's main sources of
fuel to generate electricity: natural gas
and " scrubbed " coal.
